Help in controlling to turn??!! - verchere64 - 01-28-2013

Huh I need help on the controls I cant turn right or left. It is only going sideways or strafe. I have to use my touchpad to turn I want to just use my controller keypad. Why is this?? is there anyway without using my touchpad? I bought a keypad controller that has all the assigned buttons.

The mouse has always been used to rotate the camera. In your case the mouse is your touch pad. If you want to use the keyboard as your mouse, you're going to need some kind of mouse emulator.

An Emulator is a device that can be used to make a game that run on a certain platform, to be played at another completely different platform (EXAMPLE: Wii Emulator used by me to play Ju-on: The Grudge on my PC)

That's a type of emulator, but that's not what an emulator is. An emulator is a software application that imitates hardware.
